Motor power pack with overmolded printed circuit board integrated connector

Abstract

A motor electronics unit includes a printed circuit board having a first and a second side. An electrical conductor is connected to the printed circuit board. A heat sink is positioned proximate to the printed circuit board. A housing of a polymeric material includes: an endcap encapsulating the printed circuit board and covering an outer edge of the heat sink defining a heat sink first portion, with a second portion of the heat sink not covered by the polymeric material and extending through and outward from the endcap to transfer heat from the printed circuit board. A first section of the electrical conductor extends through and is partially encapsulated by the endcap. A connector body is integrally connected to the housing. A second section of the electrical conductor is exposed within a cavity of the connector body to electrically connect the printed circuit board to another component.
